#139981

Hello,

I just did a QuickStart install of Joomla 1.5.10-JA Opal v1.0 It went well as far as the installation. After I deleted the installation directory, and accessed the Admin:

I got this error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.../public_html/..../administrator/modules/mod_menu/helper.php on line 138

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in //home/.../public_html/..../administrator/modules/mod_menu/helper.php on line 160

Any idea what the invalid argument might be? Thanks.

Cornelio

N.B. First time in a long time I had an error with the QuickStart installation.

this error occurs when foreach is executed on an array is empty

from the error msg, the codes in question are both

foreach ($comps as $row)

therefore it seems that the $comps array is empty. looking for the declaration of $comps:


126 $query = 'SELECT *' .
127 ' FROM #__components' .
128 ' WHERE '.$db->NameQuote( 'option' ).' <> "com_frontpage"' .
129 ' AND '.$db->NameQuote( 'option' ).' <> "com_media"' .
130 ' AND enabled = 1' .
131 ' ORDER BY ordering, name';
132 $db->setQuery($query);

it seems that your components database is empty or buggy? might be a faulty installation. pls check.

Thanks jsliao;

I don’t know exactly what I should be looking for. The jos_component has 32 files. When I browsed it, I got the SQL dump below.

Here’s the actual site.

Hi jsliao,

I can access the admin. I will create a separate username for you. What access level do you need? Is Administrator enough or do you need a Superadminnistrator access?

Disabling “Joomla! Security Newsfeed” in Module Manager->Administrator solved it

Thanks jsliao,

So, there was nothing missing in the database?

Can you please explain what you mean by this:

<em>@jsliao 123125 wrote:</em><blockquote>Disabling “Joomla! Security Newsfeed” in Module Manager->Administrator solved it</blockquote>

Where is “Joomla! Security Newsfeed” and how did you disable it.

What exactly did you do?

Include route path please so I can do it on my own, in case I observe it again..

Click Modules Manager
Click Administrator
Look for “Joomla! Security Newsfeed” in the list of modules and disable it.

Thanks jsliao,

I finally got the actual sequence:

administrator => extensions => Modules Manager => (find l eft top) Administrator => Joomla! Security Newsfeed ==> unpublish the module

Just curious though. How come I never saw that error in all my previous installations. I looked at one of my Teline II installations-

administrator => extensions => Modules Manager => (find l eft top) Administrator => no Joomla! Security Newsfeed

This reminds me of what one of our housemates did one night. I guess he was cooking and sometimes he does something else in his room, must have forgotten he was cooking. Food was burnt and triggered the fire alarm. I must be very tired that night. When I woke up past midnight, it was so cold downstairs and the windows in the kitcchen was open (it was still winter). Then, I saw the yanked fire alarm unit.

Was the “Joomla! Security Newsfeed” more like the fire alarm — so that unpublishing it just silenced it. Was the cause of the fire actually put out?

Finally, to go back to the analogy. Does this happen in other Joomla installations but the warning message did not show :

because there was not fire alarm (i.e., no Joomla! Security Newsfeed) to tell us?

This is no fire alarm. It’s just a newsfeed module that updates you on any security issues of Joomla. I bet 9/10 people using Joomla do not read this newsfeed.

The module has been known to cause various problem (cause unknown to me) so I figured to just try disabling it since the error only occurs at the main Joomla admin page and the newsfeed module was one of the things existing only on that page.

Thanks jsliao,

Simple details like this, and a bit of explanation are more significant to those of us with no scripting background.

It also causes a stall on the site admin loading properly on localhost due to the fact it’s trying to contact joomla for updated news ( I am not on a 24/7 internet connection) having wireless I turn it on and off to suit my meager dl limits
